Judging by his work prior to the 04-05 lockout, I think Sather knew what he was doing here. Brought in Nash this season and can easily fit him under the cap to make one amazing push at the cup. I think he knew he'd probably have to part ways with Gaborik depending on how the lockout went and he was prepared for it.

It's not like losing Gaborik is going to make this team any less of a playoff (keyword: playoff contenders, not cup) contender than it has been. But it's obvious that the 12/13 (now '13) season, if it gets played, will be the Rangers BEST chance for a cup in a long time.

Not to mention Lundqvist gets older every day, that's the biggest problem

It's an absolute joke that the teams that can support themselves are the ones that'll suffer under this new CBA.

Unlike a lot of people i'm all for hockey in Florida and NC and whatnot, but when we're gonna have to get rid of our 40 goal scorer, and probably more, because they can't afford to spend, then that is ****ing garbage.

And I disagree, Silver. You're probably right in that's what Slats thinks but if we lose Gabby then our problem is, once again, we have one top tier scorer. We're LOSING our best chance to get a cup if we lose this season, definitely, but also we didn't gain much by adding Nash and losing Gabby.
